Haemoproteus (Apicomplexa: Haemoproteidae) of tortoises and turtles

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 1998
It is the general opinion that the haemoproteid blood parasites of chelonians belong to the genus Haemoproteus. Different specific names have long been assigned to this parasite in birds, but some past authorities have accepted only a single species, H. metchnikovi, for all those haemoproteids recorded in a wide range of chelonian genera throughout the

Genomic Content in Avian Haemosporidian Parasites Suggests Co‐Regulation of Apicoplast and Mitochondrial Nucleoids

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Apicoplast genomic content and mitochondrial genomic content were found to be strongly correlated (rho = 0.93) for infections going from low to high. Apicoplast and mitochondrial genomic content were deemed as more predictive factors of parasitemia for different infection intensities.

Mapping the Space of Genomic Signatures

, 2014
We propose a computational method to measure and visualize interrelationships among any number of DNA sequences allowing, for example, the examination of hundreds or thousands of complete mitochondrial genomes.

Does haemosporidian infection affect hematological and biochemical profiles of the endangered Black-fronted piping-guan (Aburria jacutinga)? [PDF]

, 2013
Infectious diseases can cause deleterious effects on bird species, leading to population decline and extinction. Haemosporidia can be recognized by their negative effects on host fitness, including reproductive success and immune responses. In captivity,

Domination Versus Sisterhoods in the Blood Microbiota of Migrating Birds: Patterns of Within‐ and Between‐Individual Blood Parasite Diversity Revealed Through Metabarcoding

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Avian haemosporidian blood parasites are typically identified through Sanger sequencing of a partial cytochrome b fragment, the MalAvi barcoding region. Next‐generation sequencing is seldom used for avian blood parasite identification; this study demonstrates a higher detection rate of co‐infections via metabarcoding and its possible implications ...

Leucocytozoon cariamae n. sp. and Haemoproteus pulcher coinfection in Cariama cristata (Aves: Cariamiformes): first mitochondrial genome analysis and morphological description of a leucocytozoid in Brazil

Parasitology, 2023
The distribution of avian haemosporidians of the genus Leucocytozoon in the Neotropics remains poorly understood. Recent studies confirmed their presence in the region using molecular techniques alone, but evidence for gametocytes and data on putative ...

An updated checklist of Culicoides Latreille, 1809 biting midges from the highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo Une liste mise à jour des moucherons piqueurs de Culicoides Latreille, 1809 des hautes terres de l'est de la République démocratique du Congo

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
The highlands of eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) are home to critically endangered eastern gorillas (Gorilla beringei). Climate change could increase the abundance and distribution of Culicoides‐borne diseases. We utilized morphological and molecular techniques to identify Culicoides spp.

Factors affecting the distribution of haemosporidian parasites within an oceanic island [PDF]

, 2017
Understanding how different ecological and evolutionary processes influence the distribution of pathogens within the environment is important from many perspectives including wildlife epidemiology, evolutionary ecology and conservation.

Host–parasite oxidative arms race: who will win?

Journal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Avian haemosporidian parasites are globally widespread with a broad repertoire of hosts. When infected, the host can either reduce (resistance) and/or limit the severity of parasitaemia (tolerance). Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the host's resistance and tolerance, as well as its detrimental endpoints.

Avian blood parasites in an endangered columbid: Leucocytozoon marchouxi in the Mauritian Pink Pigeon Columba mayeri [PDF]

, 2007
There is increasing evidence that pathogens can play a significant role in species decline. This study of a complete free-living species reveals a cost of blood parasitism to an endangered host, the Pink Pigeon Columba mayeri, endemic to Mauritius.
